I am in a relationship with a wonderful guy. I am Deaf, have a CI in my right ear but is FAR from perfect since I had Cochlea AND nerve related hearing loss. It is a lot of work to "hear" and often struggle. I rely on lip reading, which as you guys know is also not perfect and a lot of work plus very frustrating!! I sign, and it takes a lot of weight off me when people can sign to communicate and I am often more comfortable signing (though my family doesn't sign).
Communication is two way street, and I am doing my part by lip-reading and doing my best to "hear". I am lucky my Boyfriend is willing to learn to sign!
I am very happy he is willing to learn, and he is very supportive. I Love him a lot and can see us being married in the future
Any advice to help him learn? Special games, flash cards, or other learning assist things?
